Hello All,
I just moved into a home with a nice, but old, ~20,000 gallon pool. I grew up with a pool and helped my father take care of it. He still goes to Leslie’s for all of his supplies and spends what seems like way too much time and money. Trouble free pool was the first thing I saw when I was looking online into taking care of everything myself. I’m hoping to both learn for myself and my dad.
I tried looking into all of the articles on pool school and ordered a Taylor K-2000C but honestly I got a bit overwhelmed. I drove to Leslie’s yesterday to see if I could talk to someone that could help talk me through a schedule of what I needed to do and when he said I needed to shock the pool 2-3 times a week and bring him a sample of my water, that sounded like something I was trying to avoid. I came back home and made an account right away. I’m hoping TFP can help get me on track because there is so much I just don’t know.
I’ve got a 20,000 gallon, rectangular pool pictured below with an average depth of ~5 ft. I know if I don’t act quick it will turn green as the Texas Sun is getting hotter. I’ve ordered the test kit and it will come on Wednesday but I know I need to get liquid chlorine to start my SLAM. I’ll have to make a post in the Algae forum but just wanted to say hello. I’m quite anxious to get on track before things go south but this seems like the right place to be and I’m glad I found it!
